Definitions

  • the present invention relates to stabilizing bars for an orthopedic aid, in particular knee bandages, and orthopedic aids comprising at least one stabilizing bar according to the invention.
  • stabilizing bars in orthopedic aids. Knee joint bandages, knee bandages for short, with lateral stabilizing bars are from the WO 2011/035885 A1 and the DE 3637 879 A1 famous.
  • Metal stabilizing rods are used, which are flexible due to their structure as spring strip rods, i.e. flat-pressed coils of a helical spring.
  • spring strip rods i.e. flat-pressed coils of a helical spring.
  • at least partial areas of the metal spring strip rods must be laminated with a plastic that can be welded on.
  • the metal can destroy the adjacent textile.
  • the flat spiral springs used are equally elastic over the entire course of the spring and the degree of deflection cannot be limited.
  • U.S. 1,142,045 discloses a rod consisting of a strong strip with transverse slits directed inwardly from the edges at its end portion, the slits being of gradually increasing length towards the end of the rod, thereby increasing the strength of the end portion of the staff is gradually increased.
  • the technical problem underlying the present invention is to provide improved stabilizing bars for an orthopedic device, in particular knee bandages, which function at least as well as the prior art stabilizing bars, but are simpler and cheaper to produce, have good weldability, are lighter are and or protect the adjacent textile.
  • the present invention solves this technical problem by providing a stabilizing bar according to claim 1.
  • the present invention solves the technical problem on which it is based by means of a stabilizing bar for an orthopedic aid, the stabilizing bar having a flexible section, the flexible section having at least one material recess.
  • the flexible section preferably has a plurality of material recesses.
  • the flexible section may extend the entire length of the stabilizer bar or be only a partial length of the stabilizer bar.
  • the present invention solves the technical problem on which it is based with a stabilizing bar for an orthopedic aid, in particular for a knee bandage, the stabilizing bar having a first section and a second section in the longitudinal direction, the first section and the second section having a third, flexible Section are connected to each other, wherein at least the third, flexible section has a plurality of material recesses, wherein the material recesses are deeper, the further they are away from the central region of the third flexible section, wherein the material recesses are formed by tooth-like material elevations lying between the material recesses.
  • the present invention solves the technical problem on which it is based by means of a stabilizing bar for an orthopedic aid, in particular for a knee bandage, the stabilizing bar having a first section and a second section in the longitudinal direction, the first section and the second section having a third, flexible section are connected to each other, characterized in that the third, flexible section has a plurality of material recesses.
  • the third flexible section preferably has a plurality of material recesses.

  • the first section and the second section preferably do not have a plurality of material recesses.
  • the first section and / or the second section can alternatively however, also have material recesses, for example if these sections are also to be designed to be flexible.
  • the position and strength of the flexibility of the stabilizing rod can be advantageously determined by the length and positioning of the flexible section.

  • the bending angle of the stabilizing rod can be limited by the material recesses according to the invention with the teeth lying in between, if the teeth collide as a result of the bending of the rod. If the stabilizing bar is bent to such an extent that all of the teeth between the incisions touch one another, further flexion is only possible by twisting the stabilizing bar, which the person wearing the orthopedic aid feels directly and thus receives feedback on the flexion limitation.
  • the position of the flexible section along the length of the stabilizer bar can determine the flexible range of the stabilizer bar.
  • the flexible or particularly flexible region of the stabilizing bar can be determined by the material thickness of the respective sections, in that the particularly flexible section has a smaller material thickness.
  • the stabilizing bar is in one piece. In a preferred embodiment, the stabilizing bar is made of a single material. In a preferred embodiment, the stabilizing rod consists of a plastic.
  • a tendon made of metal is incorporated into the plastic of the stabilizing rod. Even if the string is made of metal, it is still lighter than a spring ribbon stick. If a tendon made of a harder material than the material of the stabilizing rod, in particular a tendon made of metal, is embedded in the stabilizing rod, the stabilizing rod can be made thinner and still retain its restoring force.

  • the base body of the rod is wedge-shaped, at least in certain areas.
  • the base body is wedge-shaped in the third middle region, in particular designed in such a way that it tapers in the direction of the tooth-like elevations. This configuration advantageously promotes easier bending of the rod, since the compression of the material is greatest in the area of the bending point.
  • the base body has a greater material thickness in the third, central area, ie it is higher than the first and/or the second area.
  • At least partial areas of the surface of the stabilizing bar are roughened rather than smooth. This has the advantage that the rod does not squeak when it is, for example, in a plastic-coated terry cloth pocket of a bandage when the knee is bent.

It can be clearly seen that the width B of the base body 303 of the middle section 330 is less than Width B of the other sections of the Stabilizing rod 301. The section 330 is thus tapered. It can also be seen that the stabilizing rod base body 303 has a wavy design in the area 330 , the base body having elevations in the area of the recesses 331 and valleys in the area of the material elevation 332 .
